Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Good to keep in mind, #A2Council, when we hear the complaint that new buildings in Ann Arbor are “ugly”, “boring”, or “all look the same”.

Really feeling this in Ann Arbor. “The success in countries like Norway stems from prioritising safety in all aspects of transportation planning, not accepting traffic deaths as inevitable... We must be willing to prioritise human life over speed and convenience.“ #A2Council

Ann Arbor has committed to Vision Zero.
I am not really seeing it front-and-center in our transportation projects, at least not explicitly. In conversations, however, I am assured it is a priority.
Are we afraid to own it? Are we afraid of push-back if we use the specific phrase? #A2Council

“Virtue signalling” is good, actually. It’s how we show others what behaviors we believe to be acceptable in society. “Treat others as you would like to be treated” is virtue signaling.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

I love Mayor Mamdani’s radical optimism. Not a hollow, saccharine optimism, nor a hopeful, passive optimism, but a courageous optimism. We can dream of better things, and we can make them happen. It’s infectious.
